University of Queensland
Top university in a picturesque setting
The University of Queensland (UQ) is one of Australia’s oldest universities and is ranked in the top 50 globally. Located about five miles outside the center of Brisbane, UQ's picturesque sandstone courtyard leads into a campus with its own parkland, lakes and sporting grounds - a great setting for the many student clubs and societies.
UQ ranks among the world’s top universities and is a world leader in STEM fields such as mineral and mining engineering, bio-technology, marine science, biology and mathematics and it has a top notch AACSB accredited business school. UQ also offers a wide range of courses related to Australia in English, history, political science and sociology faculties and the school ranks at number three globally in sports-related subjects. You'll find advanced research laboratories, inspiring academics, and a campus culture that is conducive to academic debate and discovery.
UQ prides itself in its exceptional teaching standards. Courses are challenging and many involve hands-on work especially in the science field. UQ owns its own teaching facilities at North Stradbroke Island and Heron Island ensuring that students can get fully immersed in the Australian environment while learning.
Everyone thinks their location was the best, but mine was actually. Great location, better looking university than any of my other friends who came to visit or who I visited on their exchange experience. ”
